Sort of defying the purpose of developing Halo on PC, but are there any plans on releasing a UWP app for the Xbox One?The UWP implementation itself is just another export from Unity, but there might be some legal problems involved here?

Love the Falcon. But if you guys are planning on having smaller maps with air vehicles, you may want to add in a Hornet sooner rather than later so it doesn’t screw with players too much or limit you to the Banshee.

No, our game is not a virus. However, if you are somehow downloading our game when it is not yet released, it is absolutely malicious content, and you should avoid it. When we have a downloadable version of our game, it will be found at: https://installation01.org/

I don't blame you on the FOTUS lol seeing as I love the Dev Teams armor Art work more then Bungies or 343 some people like the diffent styles like Scout H3 vs Scout Reach,ip happy to see that the Devs keep close eyes onto there future player basis as ideas from the community help the Team and seeing as this is a game made for the fans by the fans ill help in any way to make this come true keep up the good work :). Along with this will there be plans to add community weekly events to play with friends to get credits or unlocks based on online play or playing mission based game play with narrative and voice acting

This sadly cannot ever be a reality for our project; there will be no AI, story, or voice acting (outside of the announcer).

will there be plans to add community weekly events to play with friends to get credits or unlocks based on online play

This is entirely something we're looking into; we want to incentivize players to do things they might otherwise not do such as completing all the weird challenges we'll have set to receive Recon armour, or playing certain game types to get specific rewards. But again, this is just something we're looking into and can't make promises on what will be our course of action. We love any and all constructive feedback/ideas though.

As shooting ideas back and for the Teams time is limited and in order to get the best possible game ever made, do the devs have any intentions to open a community modification tools so that way there can be a monthly community based event where modders can make armor for the games and have it all made and packaged so all the devs have to do is import it into the game after release maybe have this applied to the rest of the game such as the armor effects or even other concepts

None of the above, if you want to go with any they'd be Spartan IIs based on their armor alone.

We're going for our own Spartan look being more of an athletic Olympian build than an overly buff or thin build. You can see our full body suits in the pictures of armors we post. Some will look beefier than others on purpose such as EOD vs MK VI.

you can still play eldorado witch is halo online now looks like halo 3 mp i don't see what installation01 could bring thats new to the picture without getting a dmca from ms and pretty sure you wont launch before halo infinite if launched for pc, there you go youtube comment kid lol

As stated below, we've been given the go-ahead by 343 Industries and Microsoft to continue our work on Installation 01 so long as we follow the community guidelines put forward. Which we have. Eldewrito is indeed still playable, but it is illegal and cannot continue development so what you see now, is what you get.

You ask what can Installation 01 bring that is new to the picture? Well, our game is entirely built from the ground up on an entirely different engine for one. It will not play like any specific Halo game before it. We're following the design philosophies that Bungie used to make the originals; this will allow our game to play, look, and feel like a classic Halo game without being a copy. In a way, we are a NEW Classic Halo game which ultimately is different from 1,2,3, Reach, and even Infinite. That's what sets us apart from ports of new/old Halo games.

No, we'll be releasing Installation 01 solely on our Soon Launcher, if you find it advertised anywhere else it is malicious unless it is coming from a official source (E.g. Twitter, Official Discord announcement, Installation01.org)

Is there any reason for this? Additionally steam launches some games (IE defiance) through other game launchers, still making them “available” on steam. Would you be interested in this? Or are there alternative reasons for avoiding steam?

Honestly, it all comes down to being allowed to. At the end of the day, we're a Halo fan-game, and Steam doesn't like fan-made games to begin with. So even though 343industries and Microsoft have given us the go-ahead to continue our work they have not given us the okay for a Steam release. We're choosing to avoid all these issues by just making our own Soon Studios launcher.

As said below by u/MrTar we cannot take donations towards the project what-so-ever. However, the lack of funds is not the reason Installation 01 will not appear on Steam. instead, we will be releasing our own launcher with the game similar to the Blizzard Launcher that can hold any other game(s) released by Soon Studios in the future as well.
